What’s the first thing that you think of when you wake up in the morning?

What makes you forget time?
Music (and wine)
If you could only keep three possessions, what would they be?

Who has influenced you the most?
It’s impossible to choose one person! At the end of the day I like to hear what everyone has to say, take it all into consideration, and then make my own decisions based on my own thoughts and the information I’ve gathered. But to be fair, influence seldom sways me. If I truly want to do something, I’m going to do it.
What is the best piece of advice you have ever received?
Don’t let the turkeys get you down.
